    The natural pools of Porto Moniz are pools formed by volcanic lava, where the sea naturally penetrates, bringing crystal clear waters.

        The natural pools of Porto Moniz are one of the most beautiful places to swim in the sea. After a 6,000-year-old eruption, volcanic lava was formed, which today only contains clear sea water. Huge Atlantic waves constantly pound the black basalt lava, creating a truly unique swimming pool experience.
